What's Your Line?

You have a magical business card that will appear in the hand of every editor in publishing tomorrow. It lists your name or pseudonym and your contact information. There is also just enough room for a single sentence of fifteen words or less, i.e.:

                     Paperback Writer

      Diagonally parked in a parallel universe.


So what's the line on your magical business card say?

    Bringing imaginary friends to life... and torturing them.

    FYI, the word verification is: tzenn.

    I'd say given the deep thought given to some of these tags that they are all very... tzenn.
